The passenger was filmed sitting on the edge the wing before staff persuaded him to go back into the cabin

Graczyk, from Poland, gave cops the address of a £35-a-week Costa del Sol homeless hostel, according to sources close to the case, meaning he is unlikely to be able to afford a hefty fine.

And he is not believed to have left them a telephone number because it is thought he does not own a mobile phone - meaning they may have trouble contacting him when a punishment is decided.

Fellow passenger Fernando del Valle Villalobos told the website: "I thought he wanted to look out the window to see if the bus to take us back to the terminal had arrived but the next minute he opened the door using the lever and poked his head out.

"He had a look around and then turned round to pick up his rucksack before walking out onto the wing.

"Everyone was totally flabbergasted. No-one saw it coming and so there wasn't time to say anything."

Fernando claims he was sat on the end of the wing for around five minutes before being persuaded to return by ground staff.

He reportedly told witnesses it had got "too much for him" having to wait so long without any explanation of the delay.

Fernando said: “We left Stansted about an hour late and were kept waiting inside the plane after we landed for another half an hour.”

Raj Mistry, who was sat next to him, told MailOnline: "It seems nobody noticed that the man who decided to exit the plane was suffering from asthma.

"He needed air, hence he decided to exit the plane but Civil Guards didn't want to listen to what he had to say.

"I was talking to him throughout the flight and there was a few times he was using his inhaler. He also took medication just before the flight took off.

"When he used his inhaler the second time, A asked him if he is OK, he replied he's OK, he hates flying and struggles to breathe.

"He chuckled at one point saying: 'If I don't take [the inhaler] with me, I'll be in heaven sooner than you know it'."

One of the passengers can be overheard saying in Spanish: ‘What a f***ing star, he’s off” as the mystery passenger tries to jump down from the wing wearing with a thick coat and with a travel bag beside him.

The man is said to have opened the emergency exit after he grew tired of waiting for the doors to open

The video shows ground staff appearing to be trying to dissuade him from going any further.

Fernando said: “He was sat on the wing for quite a while until the crew managed to get him back inside.

“I don’t know why he did it. He must have just lost it and it was the first thing that came into his head.”

It happened just after 11pm local time after Ryanair flight FR8164 touched down an hour late in the Costa del Sol capital.

Malaga Airport Guardia Civil chief Miguel Sanchez said: “He wasn’t arrested because no damage had been done and no-one was in danger.”

But Civil Guard officers recorded his name so they could report him for an infraction against airport security and he is expected to be hit with a hefty fine of at least four figures.

Sanchez added: “The Spanish Aviation Safety and Security Agency (AESA) are the state body which has to decide the size of the fine but the maximum fine is £40,000 and my feeling is that this breach will be considered as one of the more serious types.”

One social media user said of the footage: “Human stupidity of the highest level. Another one who should never be allowed back on a plane for the rest of his life.”

Karen Guianella added: “It’s amazing what people can end up doing.”
